Preparing to buy my first rechargeable toy - which one?

I'm saving my points and gift cards and crossing my fingers and toes for a really good sale on Black Friday or Cyber Monday so I can get one (or more) rechargeable vibrators.

Currently my favorites (non-rechargeables) are the Roulette Croupier and French Kiss by Evolved Novelties and Rock Star Stevie (and Tina) by Doc Johnson. I tend to enjoy girthier products (1 5/8" - 1 3/4") but if a product has good vibrations, I can enjoy it in a smaller size (aka Stevie).

I prefer G-spot vibrators too as you will be able to tell from my list.

I like strong and rumbly sensations but I'm also curious about how long the charge lasts, how long you've used one, how much you use it (aka once a week or once a month or every day), etc.

I really like my Rondo, but it has a few flaws. The first is that it is only splashproof, which may not make a difference to you since you have some Lelo's up there. Again, it is PRETTY girthy, especially with the drag. Mine also has a motor that sometimes gets in rattley moods. This can be a problem for me using it in the communal showers, but you may not care!

The reason that I LOVE it and can ignore the flaws is the dual motor feature. It feels SO realistic, even though it really isn't. It feels all thick and it throbs like a hearbeat and... Yum! I use it several times a week and my favorite thing to do is insert the tip and then bring the other part up to my clitoris!

Here's my review! link

I found the Gigi to be a bit short and rarely use it. I passed on purchasing the Vr9 after holding it in person and finding it to be of only medium strength. Have held a Tiger and it's high on my list to get because it's very strong. That's my only experience with the ones listed!

Both the Gigi and Liv are very comparable in size and would probably be considered too short/thin for people looking for something larger, or filling on the level of say, a reasonably big penis. To me, their size is comparable to mayyyybe two-fingers. Additionally, their vibrations are moderate in terms of strength. I can get off anywhere from the 3rd to 5th setting. Some people report not being able to get off on the 5th (highest) setting at all.

That said, people adore the Gigi for gspot, at least as long as their gspot is shallow enough for the Gigi to reach. I think the girth of their shafts are only sliiiiightly bigger than an inch.

The Elise has pretty much the exact same shape as the Liv, except significantly larger and with dual motors.

The battery life on my Liv lasts a pretty long time. More recently, cause I havent seen my guy in a while, I've been using it maybe every other day. I've only had to charge it once since I've had it though, and it only requires around 2 hours to charge.

I haven't been able to lay my hands on a form 6, but from what I understand from pictures, it's very similar in size to the Liv or Gigi, except insertable on both ends and significantly thicker/girthier. It's also waterproof, which brings me to my last point.

if I were you, I'd probably narrow down what you were looking for a little more. Length-wise, width-wise, how many settings, waterproof or non waterproof, gentle curve, bulbous tip etc.

I don't have the most experience with rechargeable vibes---I've only had two (the Ina (my review) and SaSi (my review), and I wouldn't recommend either of them. But, you don't have either of them on your list---so congratulations so far!

The only rechargeable vibes that have caught my eye at all are the G4 Calla, and the Vr8 and Vr9. Right now, I'm personally leaning most toward the Vr8 because of how much Staindclear loves hers (and Stainedclear and I have really similar bodies). But it's a little below your preferred girth, so you might lean toward the Vr9. (For some reason, the product page for that only lists the girth of the small end, but the big end is also insertable.) (Plus, I'm selfish, and I totally want to read your review of the Vr9 !)

I've really been loving nice dildos lately, but the 8th biggish ticket item (>$50) that I have planned is either the Vr8 or the Vr9. So the more reviews of them that are up before I've got my Peridise set, and Linger, and Alumina Flow, and a few others, the happier I'll be.

I'd go with Gigi. I've had her for a year and she's still in heavy rotation with Soraya. Lelo makes damn good products.

I LOVE my Lelo Liv. I rave about her constantly. If you like thicker toys, my understanding is that Elise is very similar but thicker and dual motors. I'm a huge Lelo fan.

Oh! And I got at least 10 long play sessions out of my Liv on one charge, and a couple were over an hour at a stretch and finally I turned her on high and let her sit there and buzz away under a pillow on my bed until she died just to see how long the battery lasted. It was over an hour longer before she finally died. Once her red light started blinking that she was low it was at least 15 minutes before she kicked out completely. This was over the course of about a month of what I would term frequent but scattered usage, with sometimes not using her for 4-5 days, sometimes using her daily or more than once in a day.

Elegance, normally I would go for the Gigi, but it's really really small. Get the Elegance

I don't have any of the toys you mentioned, but I have the LELO Ina and she holds a charge for quite a while. I'd imagine all of their toys are comparable.
